“According to our data, 6.7 million Ukrainians have entered the European Union, but about 3 million have already returned. 3.7 million Ukrainians applied for temporary protection,” said Johanson.
The European Commissioner added that these figures are not entirely accurate, as Ukrainians often submitted an application first in one EU country, and then in another, did not submit an application at all, or left after submitting an application.
“That’s why there are currently about 3.2 to 3.7 million Ukrainians in the EU,” Johansson said.
She estimated that the largest number of Ukrainian refugees relative to the population of the host country came to the Czech Republic. Poland is in second place, Estonia is in third place, Lithuania is in fourth place, Bulgaria is in fifth place, and Latvia is in sixth place.
The European Border and Coast Guard Agency “Frontex” announced at the end of June that more than 6 million Ukrainian citizens have entered the European Union since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, 3.1 million Ukrainians left the EU for their homeland.
